on account OF want OF corroboratlve ath-
davits. After | had obtained these, my
application was forwarded to Washington
and was subsequently granted by the gen
eral land Office. The insinuation that |
derived from the officers here any infor-
nation on the subject is wholly untrue.
My understanding was, and is, that they
were themselves ignorant at that time of
the facts | ascertained from Garland and
others at Pine Bluffs.
As to the charge that | at any time ap-
preached a friend of Sturth, or anybody
else, and made a proposition to withdraw
the contest for a consideration of $400 or
$500. or for any other consideration what
ever, the SIN has been misled by its in
formant-sither wilfully or Inadvertently
| cannot know until | ascertain who that
informant is, the editor having decli ned
upon personal application, to furnish me
his name. The charge itself is false in
every particular.
The charge that | at any time to any
person either SAID or intimated that | had
any undue influence with. or could obtain
any unfair favors from the land office, or
either of the officers, is slanderous and
false.
My contest was dismissed by the regis
ter and receiver enormously as | think
and still contend before the commissioner.
j furnish these statements not from any
personal feeling in the matter. but in SIM
pie Justice to officers maligned by false i'm
plications in relation to a matter of which
| have personal knoledge.

o. o. o!-He Stole NV Co..,

Mrs. Schalk was SO u~nmanageable on
the trial of her COW case that her own at.
torney was obliged to leave the case and
let it be disposed of as best could be.
When she was called upon to give her ev-
idence in regard to her ownership of the
COW, which she had ~replevied of an officer
at Fort Russell, she Jumped up, refusing
to be sworn on the ground that it required
no evidence, and exclaimed, 20, o. he
stholc my coo, he sthole my co., and in
spite of all that could be said and done,
she could not be quoted, and the result
was that her case was dismissed. The
officer explains that the soldiers fount
the COW in a starving condition, took hel
up for that reason, and a bill for SIS fol
her keeping has been filed in the case.

On the 18th of September, 1886, l was
in the vicinity of Pine Bluffs, this terri
tory, attending to my official duties. My
attention was called to the Sc / sec. 10,
tp. IA n, GO W. which | subsequently
learned was filed on as a pre- emption entry,
and upon which final proof had been
made some time before by Henry Sturth.
An examination of the board shanty
on the land convinced me that it had not
been used and occupied as a residence;
the land was fenced and had been used as
a pasture, but no evidence was to be
found that the land or any portion of it
had been cultivated. Further investiga-
ton, as well as conversation with citizens
of Pine Bluffs led me to the belief that
the entryman had never resided on the
land, but that his residence and place of
business was on the adjoining section.
On my return 10 the land Office | ex-
amined the plats on file, with the view of
reporting the facts as | found them to the
general land office, when | learned hat
the entry was contested. This action re-
leased me from the necessity of reporting
the entry as | felt it my duty to do, but
for that fact. HENRY r. Fry,

There is nothing which better adver-
tiscs a town than pure water, and this
fact has been made very apparent since
the boom started. Strangers who have
come here from abroad with the view of
investing have been heard to remark
IF Cheyenne only had a good supply
Of fresh water | should think it was about
the best place to invest in that | know
Of"
As the water we get through the n.y.
drants is ION the best, the strongest eff
forts of the city council and if need be,
u citizens in their individual capacity
ought to be directed to this subject, and
if it is possible to have the proposed filter
put in, it ought to be done as soon as
practicable. If Cheyenne cannot have n
liberation system it will sooner or later
have to turn its attention to the Granite
Canyon spring, which is capable of sup.
plying 1000, 900 gallons of water per day.

AS | am the contestant in the case
against Henry Sturth now before the gem
eral land Office, | cannot pass without no
tice the insinuation made by the Sun
that my contest was based upon informa-
ton derived from the land officers. Such
was not in any respect the case, the whole
truth being as follows: Having become
acquainted with Mr.. VIM. j. Garland Of
Pine Bluffs, | learned incidentally in con-
versation with that gentleman that
Sturth's proof, recently made, was not in
accordance with tine fact as TO his resi-
dence. | then visited Pine Bluffs, salts
fed myself of the value Of the land and
found Mr.. Garland's statements corrobo.
rated by other citizens of that place. l

4 Pioneer Gone.

Mrs. Elizabeth Whitehead who for a
number of years has resided south of the
railroad track and who has been sick for
several weeks, died in this city yesterday
morning. So far as can be ascertained
Mrs. Whitehead, who was about 10 years
of age, was the first lady who ever came
to Cheyenne to reside permanently. This
was in August, 1867, nearly twenty years
ago, but before that time she had resided
at Julesburg and also in Denver. In 1864
at Julesburg, she was with a train that
was attacked by Indians, and while most
of those with the train at the time were
killed, Mrs. Whitebred escaped and was
afterward taken to a place OF safety by
Capt. (Nick) O'Brien and his company.
The funeral of Mrs. Whitehead will oc-
cur this afternoon and will be attended by
the pioneers of Wyoming in a body, who
are requested by the president, Judge
j. R. Whitehead, to assemble at the city
hall promptly at l:30 o'clock this afternoon
for that purpose.
